Available Rooms

“At the Carrington Inn, we strive to make our rooms comfortable, clean, quiet, and secure. Our service is unpretentious but caring. We like to think that every guest becomes a member of our Inn family during their stay with us, and have good recollections after they return home. We think it’s important for guest to feel independent, comfortable and free to relax whether that is in their suites, the garden, one of our food and beverage venues, or visiting the shops and galleries in the village. Since 1885, travellers have been letting the Carrington look after them while on the road. We hope you will too.”

It is our wish to share with you pictures from around the Inn at different times and seasons. If you are thinking of visiting us they will give you a hint of what you can look forward to. If you have visited us, they will help you recall your visit.

For 131 years, the Carrington has been a work in progress; constantly evolving to fit the changing needs and expectations of travellers. The Inn does not aspire to have 5 so-called Stars, unless they are in the Southern Cross that hangs above it at night. No, the Inn is about wholesome and genuine hospitality that makes people feel comfortable and welcome when they are away from home. Hospitality that makes them feel better when they leave than when they came.

In these images we hope you’ll see that commitment.

Providing quality service comes naturally to our staff at The Carrington. Come visit the Inn and enjoy our authentic care for your comfort. Care, without a huge price attached, which is uncommon in this 21st Century.

Upon your arrival, you will be greeted by a warm and congenial Guest Service staff member, who is eager to get you settled as soon as possible. As you walk under an open veranda to your room, you’ll begin to shrug off the burdens of work or travel.

On the way to your room with windows that open to fresh air and the sound of native birds, you may smell fresh mown grass and fragrant vintage roses and lavender growing along the path for you.

After you refresh in your room, stroll through Elm Park, the Inn’s private garden on your way to our tavern for some refreshing drinks, or to our Cafe Woodworks for a wholesome and satisfying meal. A Guest Service Assistant would be happy to provide you a tour of the Inn and share with you some of the background information about the 130-year-old property.
